You're not going to believe this (I didn't at first reading), but the
guy behind MH is the same one who issued the single "Convoy" under the
name C.W. McCall (i.e., Chip Davis) and started the whole truckers and
CB radio craze of the mid-70's.

My only references are from Toronto Star and NOW magazine, as well as
mentionings in Rec.music.misc and Rec.music.cd . . .
